Abstract

In Brief PURPOSE: Research describing whether stress management can improve clinical outcomes for patients in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has yielded equivocal findings. METHODS: The present investigation retrospectively examined the incremental impact of exercise and stress management (n = 188), relative to exercise only (n = 1389), on psychosocial and physical health outcomes following a 12-week CR program. RESULTS: Participation in stress management and exercise was associated with greater reductions in waist circumference and systolic blood pressure, relative to exercise alone, for patients with baseline clinical elevations on these measures. The stress management group had more depressive symptoms (as measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; t[1] = 3.81, P < .001) and lower physical quality of life (as measured by the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey Physical Component; t[1] = 3.00, P = .003) than the exercise-only group at baseline, but there were no differences between the groups at 12 weeks in terms of depressive symptoms (t[1] = 1.74, P = .082) or physical quality of life (t[1] = 1.56, P = .120). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that stress management may offer additional benefits in selected patients over and above exercise in CR. This study retrospectively evaluated the impact of exercise and stress management relative to exercise on health following cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Stress management was associated with greater reductions in waist circumference and systolic blood pressure for patients with clinical elevations on these measures, suggesting additional benefits of stress management in CR.

    “CBT has been shown to be an effective treatment for reducing anxiety symptoms in various somatic pathologies such as cardiovascular disease [10,11], diabetes [12], chronic fatigue syndrome [13], and breast cancer [14] and in subjects with high levels of perceived stress or anxiety or burnout, particularly in the workplace [15].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
